"Cascade Brewing is not only a mainstay in Portland; it’s a serious powerhouse in the larger American sour scene. Though purchased from founder (and now-retiree) Art Larrance by a team of brewery and taproom owners, Cascade’s been using local fruit and wine barrels to make world-class sour ales for years. Now, it seems to be making an effort to adapt to changing consumer demands, as its canning beers in smaller formats and making IPAs, stouts, and other beers more similar to those found at other breweries. The taproom offers small plates and sandwiches to accompany the beers." - Ron Scott
